"Rebecca Herdman's poetry confronts Truth in the darker reaches of the female heart, lights it brilliantly and burns it into our souls. Sunday's Child is the hard stuff by a poet who's the real thing."--Sheila Bosworth, "Almost Innocent", "Slow Poison" — "The peculiar charm of Rebecca Herdman's poetry lies in the poet's remarkable ability to loo... more »k at the visible world and see the invisible that contributed to its being. In her eyes, objects and events-the ordinary, such as a Sunday chicken dinner, or the extraordinary such as the Blue Dogs-take on a life of their own. Herdman also possesses to a remarkable degree that acute sense of place and the ability to evoke it that has made for the best Southern writing of this century."--Dr. W. Kenneth Holditch, Founder of the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival

"Rebecca Herdman's poetry reflects the current mood of a New South, brought forth by the deep rooted attitudes of the past. She is straight-forward, bold, and colorful."--George Rodrigue

"Rebecca Herdman writes with a freshness and depth that weds form and content-the gruesome truths hit the reader with the same shock as that felt by her innocent narrator."--John Sinclair, "We Just Change the Beat"« less
